Thoughts and Perspectives

I’ve been relatively quiet on here over the past month- 6 weeks. There are several reasons for this. In mid-October, my Nan passed away, at the age of 93. I hadn’t seen her a lot in recent years and certainly not since the Covid outbreak. Part of the reason I’d …

Have you ever done anything mischievous with or to your partner? The most mischievous thing we’ve done is have sex whilst staying with friends of my hubby’s before we married, whilst we were all sharing the lounge. In terms of actual activities, the most naughty thing we’ve done is play …

What have I been up to this past fortnight, I hear you lovely people saying. Mid-week snips and trips On Tuesday 21st July, I had my first hair appointment since Lockdown began. I visited a stylist at her home, and the experience was very different from how it was in …

I kind of feel like I’m writing for an invisible audience sometimes. Currently, I know I have about 81 followers of this blog through WordPress. I have no idea if that’s low or high for the length of time I’ve been blogging. Now, I want to canvas my Twitter followers’ …
